  1. Can't fully uninstall games from GamePass


    Hi everybody, i've got a problem uninstall Xbox GamePass games on my PC: if i uninstall them from xbox app or from settings-app it doesn't really uninstall them. In my Asus Armoury Crate there is a games section that optimize the games installed in my pc, and it keeps finding them and can fully open them, so they are still there. When i open them for the first time after uninstalling them they re-appear also in the start menu.

    I've also tried to remove all the temporary files, especially the optimized delivery i've also disabled that option, but no changes.

    Of course i can't find the game directory because it's like a shadow folder.

    How can i solve it?

    Thank you.

    :)

  2. Games from Windows Store / Gamepass not Uninstalling

    After Uninstalling some games from gamepass i notice that the space on my drives did not change, so i went to the WindowsApps folder and i saw that the files from the game are still there, i tried to manually delete them but there's no way, it's impossible
    to get permission to do that, so i keep searching an solution and i found an command on PowerShell that would uninstall system apps, i tried that and it worked, but only for the games that were installed on the system drive (CCan't fully uninstall games from GamePass :) but i also have the same problem
    on the (DCan't fully uninstall games from GamePass :) drive and the command line doesn't seem to work for the files on the D: WindowsApps folder, it just says that the apps isn't find or installed, so here i am.

    The command line is Remove-AppxPackage -Package (and then the full package name)

    Program will not fully uninstall

    One possible reason why you can't uninstall this program is because it's still running. You can have it stopped first (from running) before uninstalling. See the steps below on how to do so:

    • Press the Windows key and type in "task manager"
    • Click on Task Manager and go to the Processes tab.
    • Look for the app you want to uninstall. Right-click on it and tick on
      End task
      .
    • After doing this so, try to uninstall the app.

    Let us know the outcome of this suggestion.

    Pre-loaded games won't uninstall

    I'm not really into some of the games that were pre-loaded into my PC but when I try to bring up the games from the Start menu and click on 'uninstall' it takes me to the control panel, and I don't see the games listed there for me to uninstall. Suggestions, please? Thanks! ~P
